I don’t know why I bother getting dressed anymore. From Halloween to New Years, I should never change out of my sweatpants. Aka–>my fat pants. They are comfy, warm and don’t judge me like my slightly-tighter-than-normal jeans do….soon to be loose jeans. Holla!

Getting in shape and back to the gym is a new years resolution….which by the way is 12 days away. Not that I’m counting or anything.

AHEM.

Anyways…..

In the mean time, lets stick with desserts for breakfast, m’kay?

Everything about this recipe today is the exact opposite of healthy. Bread dough made with egg nog dipped in butter, then sugar, and then finished with a sugary egg nog glaze.  You won’t get skinny eating this, but you will feel all Christmasy plus it will make your house smell AMAZING. Make this and enjoy!

{Healthy recipes coming up in January. Promise!!}

Here’s how you do it:First thing: lets pretend my kitchen isn’t a dark hole October through March, shall we? This explains the lack of ‘how you make the dough’ pictures. All the instructions for that can be found below. Once the dough is done, let it rise, baby cakes. Be sure to butter up your bowl and your dough really well before you let it rise. It’s gonna be sticky so be generous with that butter. You can also refrigerate the dough too for 24-48 hours. It will rise in the fridge and be much easier to work with. I’m all about options, yo.Cut the dough into bite sized pieces and mentally prepare yourself to get messy.Melt some butter {*not pictured; kitchen=dark hole} and stir a little sugar together with some cinnamon and nutmeg. Dip each piece into the butter and then into the sugar mixture. Place the pieces into a buttered 9-inch cake pan and let rise 30-45 minutes.Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and cook this pull apart bread until the edges and top pieces have lightly browned.While that is cooling slightly, stir powdered sugar and egg nog together to make a glaze. Drizzle pull apart bread generously and dig in!

Tasty and soft little pillows that certainly will sweeten your holidays!

Enjoy!
